Hi

Is there a DOS commandline in Windows to expand or decompress a ZIP file ?

Thanks
Steve

type it out on the Start-Run line with the zip extension.

Thank you for the tip. I didn't know it could be done like that. Thanks.

However, I still need the commandline as I plan to use it in a batch
process.

Unfortunately, there is no command-line interface to XP's built-in ZIP
functionality. But google for command-line zippers, there are quite a
few freebies around that should work for you.

If I understand your question right...
Are you looking for a better/quicker way to extract ZIP files?

Try downloading "PowerArchiver" it is a great utility for ZIP files, I've
used for extracting multiple files at once, works very quick...
